Why Mite my Plants Look Like this?

@Snafu There around two and a half weeks now, I have 3 CFL Lights, two blue spectrum and one red spectrum, I think there mite not be enough light, I bought them online and supposedly they were supposed to be equivelent to 300 watts of light, but I just dont see it, I plan on going and buying a 300 watt CFL right off, or maybe two, the water I used tap originally then went to distilled, and now Im using tap that sat out for over 24 hours, the soil is the soil a local greenhouse uses for all of there plants, from vegetables to flowers, so I couldnt see a problem with the soil.

The bottom 2 look over watered or under watered. Use botled water...maybe ph is off by uding dink water...get good light system....they have 300 watt cfl for 16 bucks at home depot and mylar storm blankets at> walmart <hate it with a pasion... And buld a grow room.....get bat guana dr earth 14-4-0...and nice soil....all u need for the next month or 2....that 40 bucks max and walmart isnt hard to get the finger discount....so ur ok....any garden store has guano
Thievery is not good advice.

If it is a quality greenhouse, then you're probably fine there.

Bunk lights for sure, but that isn't your main problem. Dump em and just buy some good T5 fluorescents, you can find them everywhere. Or, just get a nice HPS and hood.

Don't use distilled water, distilled water doesn't carry any micronutrients and has almost no buffering capacity.

Want a solid solution?

Buy some roots organic soil, transplant everything into 1 gallon pots. At transplant, directly inoculate roots with mycorrhizae. Water with sat out dechlorinated water. Provide light with new lights.

Your problem will go away.
